  10. In Chuck Yeager's autobiography, he mentions fogging problems on the
  11. X-1's canopy.  Apparently the air force supplied a $1000-per-bottle
  12. anti-fog solution, but his crew chief used some ordinary drug-store
  13. commodity with much better results.  Possibly a thin (thus transparent)
  14. layer of shampoo?  I don't remember exactly.  But its in that book.
  15.  
  16. It's a long shot, but I hope this helps.
